TWO YACHTS MEETING—HELMS TO BE PUT TO PORT IN CASE OF DANGER. 


If two Yachts are meeting end on, or nearly end on, so as to involve risk of 
collision, the helms of both shall be put to Port, so that each may pass on the Port 
side of the other. 


XVI. 
TWO YACHTS CROSSING—IN CASE OF DANGER, WHICH TO GIVE WAY. 


When two Yachts w:e crossing so as to involve risk of collision, then if they 
have the wind on different sides, the Yacht with the wind on the Port side shall 
keep out of the way of the Yacht on the Starboard side, except in the case in 
which the Yacht with the wind on the Port side is close hauled and the other 
Yacht free, in w..ich case the latter Yacht will keep out of the way ; but if they 
have the wind on the same side, or if one of them has the wind aft, then the 
Yacht which is to windward shall keep out of the way of the Yacht which is to 
leeward. N.B.—When by the foregoing Kule, which, as well as Rule XV., is 
taken from the Merchant Shipping Amendment Act, 1862, and the Order in 
Council, dated 9th January, 1865, one of two Yachts is to keep out of the way, 
the other shall keep her course. 


XVII. 
MAY LUFF, BUT MUST GIVE ROOM AT MARKS, AND WHEN NECESSARY. 


A Yacht may luff as she pleases, to prevent another possing to windward, but 
must not bear away, in order to hinder her passing to leeward (the lee side to be 
considered that on which the leading vessel carries her boom); but, nevertheless, 
when rounding any buoy, boat, or vessel used to mark out the course, or when 


passing any pier, shoal, rock, vessel, or other obstruction to sea room, Yachts must 
give each other room to pass clear of it and of one another, whether they are on 


a2 wind or going frae, and whether +t be the lee or weather boat which is in danger 
of going ashore, or of fouling such obstructions. 


XVIII. 
RUNNING ASHORE. 


Any Yacht running on shore, or foul of a bioy or vessel, may use her own 
anchors, boats, warps, &c., to get off, but shall not receive assistance from another 
vessel (except from the crew or crews of the other vessel or vessels so fouled) or 
from the shore. Any anchor, boat, or warp used must be taken on board again 


before re-starting. 
KIX. 


DISTINGUISHING FLAGS. 


Fach Yacht must carry her owner’s proper Distinguishing Flag, of suitable 
size, at her main top-mast head, same not to be hauled down unless she gives up
